You are not the target. Who do you think clicks on "10 hot girls want to see you NOW! click here!" or "Item you bought 6 month ago is now at a 50% sale!"
I know some of the people who are the target. People who would buy 3 lifetime supplies of coffee because of a 20% sale. People who can't pass something framed as an exceptional offer. And of course, they are in debts.
Fuck advertisement. It is preying on vulnerable people, it is making markets less efficient (by distorting information and urging consumers to not act rationally). Forbid this scam. Fund internet service in a saner way.
